Exactly! It was done solely to give immense emotional baggage to Mini in S2. They did end up ruining the connection Mini-Babes had, as well as Hanuman Uncle-Veer Balika's bond. Now, however much they tell us that Babita realized her mistakes, came out of victimhood and became a victor, this time on her own, doesn't make any difference. Whats the point of it when we didn't get to witness any of it? I also hate how they are insinuating that Hanita's marriage can't survive without Mini. I mean what was the freaking point of getting them married then? Didn't they preach that everyone should go for second marriage and all?
Also, how can Mini think she is just gonna go back to Australia? What about Arya? Bas aaya rakhne se hogayi uski parvarish? She can't rely on NB/Beeji as they are old. She, herself knows its not good for Arya to be raised by Saroj... then it has to be her taking care of Arya.
It seems Babita had certain ambition regarding her restaurant. Maybe Mini will try to fulfill those. I can see them making Mini sacrifice her travel photographer career (as is how is she gonna be a travel photographer staying in Patiala), and focus on becoming a successful businesswoman and taking PB restaurant to heights, as to fulfill Babita's dreams (again, sacrificial Mini đ€Ș)
@Bold - Exactly! S1 was largely focused on Babita's journey. Yeah, she became financially independent. But, her love story had immense potential as well. In my opinion, they could have given HS and Babita's love story much more focus than they did. After Imarti track, I would have preferred if Babita left the haveli.... and after initial struggle, Babita-HS reconciling and finding their way to each other, after realizing that they love each other a lot and can't stay apart. There was just so much potential here, instead they made them get married. Another missed track is Babita slowly being confident with her sexuality after marriage with HS's immense love and care. The intimacy issue and her not being ashamed of her desires had so much potential as well. Another missed plot is HS overcoming his childhood trauma and Babita and Mini helping him heal from it. Just so much freaking potential. But, nope they had to just bring up tracks that just focused on Mini đ€Ș.
How much can they really stretch Arya-Mini not liking each other or whatever. I see no story after Arya and Mini make that connection.
